I think both points are true. But, I imagine that with all of the bankers out there, someone must be doing something similar, even if on a smaller scale -- a person with tremendous creativity, a golden Rolodex, and a perspective on opportunities that adds tremendous value.
Agree with you, but I can't think of any examples outside of Silicon Valley. Chris Sacca, in a weird way, is the modern day Milliken. Worth noting that these stories only get written way later so it's hard to know who's doing it now.
good observations.
I'm waiting for someone to chime in with, "well, you know, there's this banker in St. Louis that did this thing with these people that was kind of like what you're describing..." 
lol, yeah to be fair, it has only been 8 minutes since your original tweet!
The business landscape of the US is totally different today. The roll-up opportunities have mostly...been rolled up. US business is way more concentrated and outside of SV, we've seen a swing away from "risk-taking". Put these things together and you get our current situation.
Can you say more on the Milken / Sacca similarities?
I'm not qualified to answer that, but I'll go for it anyways.
Both were kingmakers in their time. They were in on every single notable deal from their era.
Not a perfect analog, but like @tsludwig said, "Where is the modern day Miliken?"
